Club Med - Cervinia, Cervinia

In the shadow of the towering Alps, Cervinia draws its inspiration from the past glories of the mountaineers who scaled the legendary Mount Cervino, and forms part of a magnificent panorama. While the Club Med Resort breathes the pure air of the peaks at 2,050 metres, the hotel - with its original decor and authentic materials - is a luxurious mountain refuge and provides a cosy, convivial setting for relaxing at Club Med Spa and meeting up with the rest of the family. The Resort's sun-kissed terraces provide ideal spots for soaking up the views of the ski domain, which stretches as far as Switzerland.

Club Med Cervinia Reviews

May not be to everyone's taste but I have just had a fantastic week in Cervinia at ClubMed. I was allowed out on my own and this was something like my 50th week skiing but my first with CM - and what a surprise.
The staff were very engaging, the food was unbelievable and it was a joy to spend a week in the company of so many nationalities (over 30 countries) both skiing, in the restaurant and at the bar.
Looks expensive initially but the all inclusive really is value. Only the ski hire was a bit steep but I've always wondered who could afford to reserve a table in a mountain restaurant every day. The mountain food was excellent and drink perhaps a little too free for afternoon skiing - but then you don't get much lemoncello or genepi in the UK.
Worth noting that, with chalet ski hosting in question, the ski school included is perhaps the only viable option. Our instructor, Paulo Bic, for whom nothing was too much trouble, didn't just guide but did instruct - and few English skiers won't benefit from that.
The snow was variable but Cervinia for skiing did not overly impress, there are better. A massive area that seemed to me a bit randomly pisted but avalanche potential may influence that. The lifts are very long, but there are some good reds - particularly the 16k down to Valtournenche. The police are active on the slopes, mainly to prevent off-piste skiing without all the right gear (transponder, air bag, spade etc.) and the fines are high. Verbier is altogether different but an unreliable return and a very dear taxi back if you get caught by the weather (a Russian couple told me over 900 euros). Piste colours are a bit unreliable and this wouldn't be first choice in Italy for the family, the Branta area (Madonna) or Via Lattea would be better for my mine.
My only warning are - do not expect to speak English everyday and to everyone, that's part of the pleasure, and don't go immediately after Christmas with any intention of losing wieight (or if you've sworn off alcohol).
But we will definitely look at ClubMed again for a family holiday next time. Now just have to find a job that pays a bit more to afford it.

If you could ski from the hotel this property would get a ten. Run 16 is the run which will take you back to Club Med. The 20m pool is a great way to unwind from a hard days ski. If you like speed skiing Cervinia is a place where you can clock the k's on the many long reds. Since 1947, the year of the historical record-breaking performance by Zeno Colò (159.292 km/h), Breuil-Cervinia has become the home of Speed Skiing.

If you like the off-piste Zermatt is the place to head off to where you will be amazed how much there is & the quality. Do note the last lift times to get back to Cervinia from Furi 1864m. It is an expensive trip back to Cervinia if your late. Try a visit to the Iglu bar below Gornergrat sation in Zermatt for a bar with a difference.
